Instead of being purely based on one entity,
this story takes background from Classic Donald Duck
cartoons, Ducktales, and Darkwing
Duck.

Disclaimers:

Disney owns most of these
characters. Dumbella's past as Bella Widgeon is mine, as are the
characters of Melanie Widgeon, Cindy Ganderquack, Jeffery Ruddy,
Ronnie and Lisa Mallard, and whomever else I mention in the
future.

Author Notes:

This story is sequel of sorts to
the story Back to the Nest. You should be able to
catch the bulk of the story without reading Back to the
Nest, but it would give you more background on Bella
Widgeon. Though, if you plan on reading Back to the Nest,
this story reveals a major spoiler or two. Besides, I would love
to know what you think.

Thank You:

To Jenn and Nana for their help
with prescreening and editing this story.

Warnings:

This story is rated PG-13 for
adult themes, but nothing really major.

Chapter 9

"Thanks again for letting me use your
computer. Tank won't get out of that chat room," Honker
informed.

Gosalyn, who was browsing a magazine on her
bed, nodded. "Welcome."

"I really felt for Annie today,"
Honker added.

"Oh?" Gosalyn answered.

Honker nodded.

"Yeah, she mistook a 0 for an O, and you
know what that can do to a computer program."

"Mmm?"

"When she tried to run the program not
only did she get pages after pages of errors, but Ms. Newton had
to call the main campus!"

"Really?" Gosalyn commented.

"Yeah, you see, she caused a gigantic
loop! She tied up the system. The Help Desk had to manually shut
down her program!"

"Well, that sucks," Gosalyn stated
nonchalantly.

Honker turned from his computer chair.

"Gos? What's wrong?" he asked.

"I feel like a caged animal."

Gosalyn closed her magazine and jumped off her
bed. She has been locked up in her room all day, and it was now
after seven in the evening.

"Who knows, Launchpad was with his
girlfriend earlier, but knowing Dad, he probably phoned him on
the cell Morgana has been out all day probably took the
kids somewhere. And besides I really need to see what Huey is up
to," she stated.

Honker smiled.

"Come on save your work, we will be back
later " Gosalyn urged.

"Okay...okay " Honker agreed.

He moved his mouse to the file menu

When the screen went blank

"Hey!" Honker shouted. "No
fair."

Gosalyn held back a laugh.

"How much did you lose?" she asked.

Honker sighed.

"Only a few paragraphs, I guess it could
have been worse."

Gosalyn nodded, laughing.

"Well, it knew it was time to give
yourself a break."

Honker took his disk out of the disk drive, and
pocketed it.

"I'm surprised your father left you
unsupervised."

"It wasn't by choice I tried to
persuade him to bring me with him, but he decided leaving me
alone was the lesser of two evils Let's go."

Huey hung up the phone.

"Damn it," he said under his breath.

No answer. He wasn't surprised--not really.
Chances are Mr. Mallard was screening Gosalyn's calls. In a way,
he was glad that her father didn't just answer the phone and give
him a piece of his mind. But so many unanswered questions
remained. And misconceptions had to be cleared up. He loved
Gosalyn. He wanted to be with her in all the ways lovers are.
Marriage? Well That was years and years away, but he had to
admit the thought did come into his mind at times. And he
admitted it scared him. He was not yet 17. He did not want to end
up like his mother, who married young, with the false notion that
her teenage romance with his father was the one that would last
for eternity.

So, he understood, and respected, Gosalyn's
choice to remain a virgin. She wanted the time to be perfect.
Heck, he wanted their time to be perfect. And he would never
force her into something she did not want to do Her father
will have to learn that he had no intention of leaving her life.

Huey took a piece of paper and a pen and
scribbled down a note. Donald was out with his cousin Gladstone
and Daisy was on assignment at the news station.

His mother, Bella, and his sister Melanie were
also out. Melanie mentioned that they were heading to the
Duckburg Zoo with a friend of their mother. Melanie wasn't
specific if the friend she mentioned was her "Aunt"
Cindy or the mysterious boyfriend that she had been with for
months. Or it could be someone else all together, not that Huey
really cared.

He placed the note on the refrigerator, grabbed
a Coo-Coo Cola and then left through the back door.
